Now that looks like a pub. I reckon with the other six you were building a modern housing estate of non-affordable houses but did not want to admit it because they all had three family bathrooms. Roger

I mount them in a piece of brass tube. I found that they are a snug fit into 6mm id tube from K&S but you have to find a stockist who has the metric range. I made the tube the full length of the motor and there is sufficient friction to stop them rotating and sliding out although I have only tried it with spur gears. Regards Roger Regards Roger

Can anyone tell me if the CB09 cutter can be used with a Craft Robo CC100 - 20? I currently do my drawings in Autocad and then save them as DXF files which Robo master can load.. So is there any advantage in loading the new version of the Silhouette Studio software? Will it even work on an original Craft Robo? Regards Roger

I've used Nigel's motors in tramcars and I am also designing one into a saddle tank of my own. I use Nigel's belt drive which gives a reduction of 3.6 : 1 in a single stage; impossible with gears in the same space. I then use the 14 : 1 Tenshodo worm gear set for an overall reduction of ~ 50 : 1. The belt drive is quite quiet whereas spur gears at the higher speed, before the worm, can be noisy. I had to use the Tenshodo gears because the tram wheels are only 5.25mm dia. but I may use a larger gearset in the saddle tank. Regards Roger
